Surprise, surprise, surprise!!

What we have here....is a failure...to COMMUNICATE!!

S'pose it's because the nimrod Mayor and wet-pants Governorette don't KNOW what the hell to do?

Appreciate your posts. Ask that you be non-specific on Bush location in realtime.


Got a feeling he might try something risky.

The ANG is getting ready to mop up. These brave soldiers will be going house to house, building to building to fine the people of New Orleans. As this dangerous operation unfolds, the tragic scope of human suffering and loss will strike home. Shep sez 10,000 dead or more. God Bless their souls.

The pictures of the children and babies make me want to cry. Anybody who with children who stayed in their houses and didn't get them evacuated when they were told to leave should be held accountable.

The ones who understand are too busy working to hold press conferences.

The ones that don't are playing CYA and bashing Bush.

They have 85 showers available. Unfortunately, instead of the number of evacuees they expected to get, it's grown to twice that amount. I just heard on local radio, they are trying to move a lot of people to San Antonio, Austin and Dallas.

........

Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico are HUGE OPEN SPACED STATES. These are just a few states that are good places to place the displaced for the time being and until eveyone can coordinate future plans.

I've been wondering that too. When they show footage of some of the streets, they are dry and people (looters) are walking around freely.

Updates as they come in on Katrina

02:09 PM CDT on Friday, September 2, 2005
Tom Planchet

2:05 P.M. - (AP): A mix of cheering and swearing has greeted National Guardsman pouring into New Orleans.

As a convoy of relief trucks swarmed through downtown, some near the city's convention center threw up their hands and screamed "Thank You, Jesus!"

Others weren't as pleased. One man says "hell no," he's not happy to see the Guard, saying troops should have shown up days ago. Michael Levy says he'll be pleased when 100 buses arrive to evacuate people.

Levy says people at the center have been sleeping on the ground "like rats." And he says if he had his way, New Orleans would be burned down.

1:57 P.M. - WWL-TV: State School Superintendent Cecil Picard is asking the School Superintendents of St. Bernard and Plaquesmines Parishes to call him as soon as possible.

WWL- Interviewed a New Orleans Police officer that got in his patrol car, quit, and drove west...
Says no leadership, no support...


And hopefully no pension for this coward.

ATA still has L10s they use to ferry troops. They are configured to seat 300+.

Go airlift!
